A story about one month before the end of the warKAMIKAZE vs HAWKBILLJuly 15, 1945
SingaporeAre you alright? Watch out for submarinesIf only I were able to go along with you...I'm good!! Heavy cruiser Myoukou, if you came you wouldn't be able to attack the submarines, don't you think?But I did?No, Myoukou, you're just a special caseDuring the torpedo attack that caused her to be moored in Singapore, Myoukou launched a fierce counterattack against her opponent USS Bergall, landing a hit on one of three volleys fired by her main battery.
In the Japanese Navy, it's a rare example of a successful attack by a large ship on a submarine without the use of depth charges.
